Ronit Roy warns fans about cyber fraud being carried out in his name
Mumbai, May 21
Actor Ronit Bose Roy has warned people about a cyber fraud being carried out in his name.
On Thursday, the 'Udaan' actor shared a post on Instagram and said that someone has been contacting people, especially girls, using his name. The person has also been asking for money and trying to take bookings in his name.
Sharing the details of the fake number and email ID, Ronit warned people to stay careful. He also said that the "cops are coming" for the person behind it.
"WARNING!!!! It has come to my notice that someone has been using my name and reaching out to people, especially girls and asking for money. This person has been trying to take bookings in my name. The number involved is a Zangi number 3318085685 The email id being used is ronitroybookings@hotmail.com Everyone be careful. As for the perpetrator....."cops are coming for you""
In the next slide, Ronit made it clear that he would never contact women on social media or ask anyone for money. He also asked people to inform him if they come across such cases.
"Please note I will never approach women on social network or otherwise. Obviously I will never ask anyone for money If y'all come across anyone like that please bring it to my notice immediately," he added.
In the caption, the actor again asked people to be careful of fake accounts and people using celebrity names to fool others.
"Be very careful of people using celebrities identities to fool people and take advantage of them. In case you come across such instances it's always a good idea to bring it to the celebrities notice. Me nor my representatives will ever reach out asking for money or for any such favors," he wrote.
On the work front, Ronit Roy will next be seen in 'Teen Kauwe'. The show is produced by Roy Kapur Films and backed by producer Siddharth Roy Kapur. The series has been created by Abbas Tyrewala, while Priyanka Ghose is the director and co-creator.

Seriously, these scammers have no shame—targeting girls and asking for money under Ronit's name? It's alarming how many people fall for such traps because they trust celebrities. Ronit's warning is crucial, but I wish authorities would do more to prevent these frauds instead of just reacting afterwards. 🔍
It's good that Ronit is taking action and transparently sharing the fake number and email. But I also wonder—why are these scammers specifically targeting girls? That's a whole other layer of creepy. Props to him for speaking up and supporting his fans' safety! 🛡️
This is why we can't trust anyone blindly online. Ronit is one of the few actors who actually cares about his fans unlike many who ignore such issues. That said, people also need to be more aware—if a celebrity is asking for money through random messages, it's obviously fake!
Sad that even in 2025, cyber fraud is thriving. Ronit's warning is timely but I wish the article included tips on how fans can verify such claims themselves. Still, applause for his proactive approach—he's setting a good example for other celebrities. 🌟
Ronit Roy is a class act—immediately alerting his fans and even mentioning "cops are coming." But honestly, the fact that someone used a Zangi number shows how tech-savvy scammers have become. We need stronger cyber laws in India to deter such crimes. Jai hind! 🇮🇳
